seated themselves upon a stringer of the

his companion caught him by the back of
the neck, as he came up, and tried to get
him back upon the timber. At first he was
unsuccessful, but he promptly shifted his
hold from the youngsters neck to bis hair
and then pulled him out. When his body
was about half out of the water the moist
ened youth recovered his breath and began
yelling Justify, Notwithstanding his res
cuer's urgent request to "Shut up, will
you" and as soon as he found himself on
something solid he made a Decline for
home, leaving behind him his fishing
tackle, bait and fish, evidently impressed
with the belief that there wasn't as much
fun in fishing as there used to be-
